The parasitic dinoflagellate Hematodinium infects marine crustaceans
Marine Life Science & Technology, 2021Hematodinium is a type of parasitic dinoflagellate that infects marine crustaceans globally. The parasite lives mainly in the hemolymph or hemocoels of affected hosts, and results in mortalities due to malfunction or loss of functions of major organs. In recent years, the parasite had developed into an emerging epidemic pathogen not only affecting wild

This chapter provides a brief overview of crustacean parasites that infect commercially important fish and shellfish. Crustaceans are a diverse group of arthropods, with over 60,000 species that are significant to the aquaculture and fisheries sector, including parasitic species affecting other crustaceans, mollusks, and fishes. This chapter focuses on

As with all animals, crustaceans serve as hosts to a very diverse taxa of parasites. These parasites range from unusual dinoflagellates that parasitise the hemocoels or eggs of their hosts, to classical helminths that use crustaceans as intermediate hosts, and to the bizarrely adapted tantulocarid and rhizocephalan crustaceans with their highly derived

Evolutionary History of Crustaceans as Parasites
2021Modern crustaceans are extremely diverse, not only in their morphologies, but also in their life styles. It is therefore not surprising that parasitism evolved in various lineages of Eucrustacea independently, in groups such as amphipodan, isopodan and copepodan crustaceans, but also barnacles and fish lice.

Fossil Crustaceans as Parasites and Hosts
2015Numerous crustacean lineages have independently moved into parasitism as a mode of life. In modern marine ecosystems, parasitic crustaceans use representatives from many metazoan phyla as hosts. Crustaceans also serve as hosts to a rich diversity of parasites, including other crustaceans.

The Sexuality of Parasitic Crustaceans
1993Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the sexuality of parasitic crustaceans. Although large numbers of parasites are found throughout the crustacea, certain groups of crustaceans are particularly well endowed with parasitic species. These are the branchiurans, the copepods, the tantulocarids, the rhizocephalic cirripedes, and the isopods.

The Ecological Significance of Parasitic Crustaceans
2019Despite that aquatic parasite diversity and abundance likely surpasses that of terrestrial parasites, our understanding of aquatic parasites lags far behind our knowledge of terrestrial parasites. This is undoubtedly attributable to our being terrestrial primates and the associated logistical challenges of studying most aquatic environments.

AbstractOf all the metazoan groups discussed in this book, the crustaceans are the most diverse and ubiquitous. Among them, the copepods are dominant. They, jointly with the monogeneans, are the most diverse group of metazoan ectoparasites of marine fishes; in addition, they infect a wide range of marine invertebrates.

Host Partitioning by Parasites in an Intertidal Crustacean Community
Journal of Parasitology, 2010Patterns of host use by parasites throughout a guild community of intermediate hosts can depend on several biological and ecological factors, including physiology, morphology, immunology, and behavior. We looked at parasite transmission in the intertidal crustacean community of Lower Portobello Bay, Dunedin, New Zealand, with the intent of: (1) mapping

Crustacean fish parasites from Segara Anakan Lagoon, Java, Indonesia
Parasitology Research, 2007The present study is the first investigation on ectoparasites of commercial important fish from Segara Anakan, a brackish water lagoon located at the southern coast of Java, Indonesia. Eight economically important marine fish species (Mugil cephalus, Siganus javus, Scatophagus argus, Caranx sexfasciatus, Lutjanus johnii, Eleutheronema tetradactylum ...
